Hi

I would use a function like this :

[COLOR=darkgoldenrod]mkseqname()[/color]
{
  [COLOR=chocolate]local[/color] [navy]name[/navy][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"$1"[/i][/green] [navy]nr[/navy][teal]=[/teal][purple]1[/purple]
  [b]while[/b] [teal][[[/teal] -f [green][i]"${name}_$nr"[/i][/green] [teal]]];[/teal] [b]do[/b] [teal](([/teal] nr[teal]++[/teal] [teal]));[/teal] [b]done[/b]
  echo [green][i]"${name}_$nr"[/i][/green]
}

So the renaming would look like this :

mv [green][i]'XXX'[/i][/green] [green][i]"$( mkseqname 'XXX' )"[/i][/green]

Tested with [tt]bash[/tt] and [tt]mksh[/tt].

Hi

And which shell's which version are you using ?

/usr/bin/ksh

 

[p5wizard]

[tt](( nr++ ))[/tt] is short for [tt](( nr=nr+1 ))[/tt]

But ksh doesn't understand [tt](( nr++ ))[/tt]
So just use the format [tt](( nr=nr+1 ))[/tt]

HTH,

Hi

Still nobody mentioned the version. I guess it is [tt]ksh[/tt] 88, as far as I know [tt]ksh[/tt] 93 has no such deficiency.

Hi

And why not mentioned it at the beginning ?

[COLOR=darkgoldenrod]mkseqname()[/color]
{
  [COLOR=chocolate]local[/color] [navy]name[/navy][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"${1%.*}"[/i][/green]
  [COLOR=chocolate]local[/color] [navy]ext[/navy][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"${1:${#name}}"[/i][/green] [navy]nr[/navy][teal]=[/teal][purple]1[/purple]
  [b]while[/b] [teal][[[/teal] -f [green][i]"${name}_$nr$ext"[/i][/green] [teal]]];[/teal] [b]do[/b] [teal](([/teal][navy]nr[/navy][teal]=[/teal]nr[teal]+[/teal][purple]1[/purple][teal]));[/teal] [b]done[/b]
  echo [green][i]"${name}_$nr$ext"[/i][/green]
}

Default shell in AIX (even in AIX61) is /usr/bin/ksh which is the old ksh88. The newer ksh93 is also available as /usr/bin/ksh93.
